Hello,I am here to share with you a Design Team LO, I did for Maja Design using the beautiful Walking in the Forest Collection. The photo is of a mannequin that I have used as a garden ornament for years. This is her this year look & this year I gave her a purse & filled it with impatients. It is still early in the season,so there is much more plant growth to happen.

Out of the Walking in the Forrest Collection I used: Die Cut Letters- BS,Last Flowers-BS, & The Colors of Fall -BS

I did distressed,stitched layers,but on this LO I added Corrugated paper in my layers, that I applied Decadence Chalkboard Glimmer Mist to....

The mannequin hair is burgundy,so that is why I choose to use these colors....

I first used rock candy on the black cardstock fuchsia branch from Scrap Fx & when that dried I played with different tones of green LuminArte's for the leaves & stem & for the flowers I used a couple shades of burgundy...

I started my LO without my photo taken yet,so I got this far & decided to embellish this cute little crocheted hat with some of my scrapbooking supplies.
